Copeland","doi":"10.1353/csd.2023.a911793","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/csd.2023.a911793","url":null,"abstract":"Sounds About White: A Critical Content Analysis of Collegiate Gender-Based Violence Research in Top-Tier Journals Larry M. Locke and Olivia M. Copeland (bio) Gender-based violence (GBV) is a broad umbrella term for many forms of violence directed at individuals based on gender and includes unwelcomed sexual contact (e.g., rape, voyeuristic behavior), stalking, threats, physical violence, economic harm, heavy flattery to control another person, or any combination of these behaviors (Linder, 2017). GBV is understood as an issue of power and control (Russo & Pirlott, 2006). Studies have shown that traditional college students (ages 18–24) affected by GBV report lower grades and higher dropout rates than their peers (Baynard et al., 2020; Mengo & Black, 2016). Authors of GBV research often implicitly center their work on whiteness (Harris, 2017), which is particularly problematic in that scholarship that does not name and discuss the connections between racial and sexual violence leads to “incomplete and ineffective strategies for eradicating sexual violence” (Linder, 2017, p. 60). Centering research on white students creates a divide in campuses’ abilities to support and respond to all student’s needs related to GBV, a serious representation of systemic racism. This study examined and quantified how race has been discussed in GBV-related research published in top-tier higher education (HE) journals. Intersectionality asserts social identities (e.g., ability, class, race) are “interconnected and operate simultaneously to produce experiences of both privilege and marginalization” (Smooth, 2013, p. 11). All those touched by GBV are not homogeneous, yet much of the scholarship on collegiate GBV presents them as such. We focus on top-tier peer-reviewed journals because of the prestige rewarded for publishing in those outlets and the isomorphism of HE in general, meaning all journals are likely to manage themselves in ways that mirror top-tier journals (Bray & Major, 2011; Fay & Zavattaro, 2016). Viewing this isomorphism in relation to the racist bias that undergirds and shapes much of the publication process (Stanley, 2007), we sought to understand how the most influential journals in HE might contribute to the homogenization of collegiate GBV research. In contemplating and implementing this project, Larry, a cis man, and Olivia, a non-binary person, felt responsible for resisting and naming the prevalence of race-neutral narratives within GBV work. Both authors are white, queer, doctoral students, and survivors. Larry came to the project with extensive experience in GBV prevention work from multiple institutional types and as a staff member for the [End Page 594] Journal of College Student Development. Olivia came with general student affairs knowledge and academic training regarding race.

Findings demonstrated that PSAs rarely experienced a broad sense of belonging, contrary to prevailing wisdom that links involvement and belonging. PSAs are charged with fostering belonging for others while simultaneously navigating systems that undermine their feelings of belonging. Rather than experiencing widespread feelings of belonging, PSAs often experienced it only in specific microsystems that affirmed their identities and experiences, including student groups, organizations, or affinity spaces.

Since their establishment in the early 20th century, these institutions have evolved in ways that intentionally support the needs and demands of their communities. Despite these institutions’ important role in the landscape of postsecondary education, today’s community colleges must navigate critical challenges, emerging trends, and new visions of educational reform. Importantly, student affairs units on community college campuses play a significant role in these tasks. This reality is precisely what this book aims to capture—innovative student success initiatives designed to directly respond to emerging issues on community college campuses. Edited by C. Casey Ozaki, Paulette Dalpes, Deborah L. Floyd, and Gianna Ramdin, The Role of Student Affairs in Advancing Community College Student Success: An Examination of Selected Contemporary Initiatives is a collection of empirical research and scholarly commentary on existing and recommended student affairs initiatives that vary in type, represent diverse community college contexts, and attend to the current sociopolitical moment. In an effort to situate myself to the context of this text and subsequent book review, I briefly offer elements of my professional positionality, which include having a career in student affairs prior to entering faculty work as well as engaging in research that includes a focus on issues of equity in community college settings. Following Chapter 1, where the editors lay the conceptual groundwork for the text, they dive into an example of practice. Chapter 2, by Kimberly Lowry, Dawna Wilson Horton, and Karen Stills Royster, presents the narratives of two community college campuses in Texas that built student affairs assessment capacity and illuminates the challenges associated with institutionalizing a culture of assessment. These challenges included a collective lack of clarity around assessment and a lack of readiness among staff (e.g., staff being unfamiliar with CAS Standards or conflating assessment outcomes with individual job performance evaluations). In Chapter 3, Jason L. Taylor and Chuck W. Lepper discuss the proliferation of promise programs as a response to declining college affordability. Although promise programs provide direct aid to students and increase access to postsecondary education, college affordability does not solely determine student success.
